231. Lord Jesus, Think on Me

1 Lord Jesus, think on me
And purge away my sin;
From selfish passions set me free
And make me pure within.

2 Lord Jesus, think on me,
By anxious thoughts oppressed;
Let me your loving servant be
And taste your promised rest.

3 Lord Jesus, think on me
Nor let me go astray;
Through darkness and perplexity
Point out your chosen way.

4 Lord Jesus, think on me
That, when the flood is past,
I may th'eternal brightness see
And share your joy at last.
